In the selfie camera, the device features a 10MP f/2.0 aperture along with AutoFocus, voice control and 30fps 4K video recording support.
The Galaxy Z Flip will be powered by 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform along with 8 GB RAM.

The Z Flip comes with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and will run Android 10 out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Pricing and Release Date
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is reportedly launching at a price of Euro 1500 in European markets starting February 14. It is expected to come in black and purple colour options. Another report suggests the phone will likely be priced for $1400 in US markets and be an AT&T exclusive. This, however, will be a timed exclusive, so other operators will be able to sell it unlocked at a later stage. There is no information as to the Galaxy Z Flip launch date in India, but the prices are likely to be upwards of INR 1,00,000.
